Banana bread is always a go-to when you have extra bananas hanging around the house. Its perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat after dinner. Toasted up with some butter or topped with your favorite jam or nut butter. We whipped up this simple and delicious recipe in just about an hour (including baking time).

Happy Spring? Yes, the question mark is needed since we had snow on Long Island today and its April second! I'd say about six inches total, but we were happy to see the sun appear and melt some of it away. We started on some yard work this week and were getting the itch to start doing some planting, but luckily we held out for now. Snow days are always the best days to test out a new recipe and typically we like to try our hands at baking on these chilly days. We just received some of Kodiak Cake's new Almond Poppy Seed Power Cakes Flapjack + Waffle mix. We decided to use this delicious mix for some baking and the results turned out absolutely delicious. Here's everything you will need:

We were in the mood for something healthy and a bit different from what our typical weekly dinner go-tos are. Its a super easy recipe and and even easier cleanup. Here's everything you'll need for these tasty and flavorful bowls:

The Quadruple Almond Butter Cookies from TJ's are a must-try. We frequent Trader Joe's weekly and while lots of their cookies and desserts are SO good, sometimes they aren't always the healthiest choice. These cookies are worth it and are pretty low in calories + fat. They also own up to everything they say they are: buttery and rich with the perfect crunch. Make sure to snag these on your next TJ's haul. Another one from good ol' Trader Joe's is this Shea Butter + Coconut Oil Hair Mask. I have to say we've been loving TJ's personal care products lately and this hair mask is everything …

Its a snowy/rainy day on Long Island, so we decided to brighten up our morning with some delicious sprinkle cupcakes. The best thing about them is there low calorie (only 125 each cupcake) and low in sugar (12 grams in each). They are the perfect bit of indulgence to satisfy any sweet craving. And if you'd like to get festive for Valentine's Day add your favorite heart candies to the tops of your cupcakes for some added decor. Here's everything you will need for these lovely little treats:

Happy Thursday W+A friends! Tonight we are headed to the city for a tasting and of course New York is still holding on to that winter weather. We were teased with a few nice days last week, which gave us a taste of spring time weather. This week we wanted to use up some of our frozen three ingredient dough. Now that we've tested it out on bagels and pizzas, garlic knots were the next obvious choice. These were so easy to make and we paired them with some zucchini noodles and sauce. They are also a great lunchtime snack, toasted up in the morning with some butter or can be enjoyed with a big salad or soup. Here is everything you'll need to make these garlicky guys:

We made it to hump day! As I currently sip my coffee this morning, I have a batch of banana coconut chocolate chip energy bites (recipe to come) for a little after dinner or post gym snack baking in the oven. We had a pork loin in the fridge big enough to feed a small country so we decided to cut it and make three separate meals for the week. I typically roast my pork in the oven Cuban style and add some roasted potatoes, but I figured I could set it and forget it with this easy and DELICIOUS recipe below. I'm not embarrassed to admit that John and I pretty much polished off almost the entire pork loin. Here is everything you'll need to make slow cooker honey Parmesan pork roast:
